Competitiveness in Research and Development: Comparisons and Performance

"Competitiveness In Research And Development: Comparisons And Performance" by Adam Torok, Balazs Borsi, Andras Telcs. This book builds on the premise that the effectiveness of national efforts to increase spending on R&D can be approximated by the competitiveness of that economy in international markets. Building on a number of existing ‘benchmarking’ studies that have to date only ranked countries according either to their R&D indicators, or their performances in innovation, this is the first book to offer a synthesized assessment of the R&D competitiveness of national economies based on both input and output related indicators. Several quantitative methods are used to combine these lists with a wide variety of R&D indicators. The book confirms one of the major premises of the Lisbon Strategy – that Europe is significantly lagging behind its overseas competitors in R&D. Book details: 251 pages, published 2005.
